The Arad Wood House is an historic house in Cranston, Rhode Island. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built c. 1858 for N. Thornton, and is one Cranston's finest Italianate houses. Although it was built as a farmhouse, it was acquired in the 1890s by Arad Wood, one of Cranston's wealthiest businessmen, who operated a gentleman's farm of several hundred acres. The house was also later the first home of the Cranston chapter of the American Red Cross.^[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.^[1]
